Sameer's monologue hype

Sameer's monologue for today...

It has been 25 years now. But even today when I remember that day, I get upset with myself. That time, I could not tell Naina because I did not have the courage to look into her eyes. And I am saying this today: that moment was the worst moment of my life. If I ever get a chance to walk back in time, then I probably would have erased that moment. But I neither got a chance to erase it nor did I get chance to speak to Naina that day. I was probably scared of myself. I could neither accept my wrong doing in front of her nor could I ask her for forgiveness. I still come here every year. Mt. Abu trip was memorable for both of us in more than one way. Many changes happened in Naina's life because of this trip. And mine too. ...

First and foremost, we should keep in mind that VO actors have to convey emotions only through their voices, without actually acting in the show/movie. It is a difficult job. So please let us have patience before jumping in to judge. This was first day and started with a very sad event. So the voice was not much animated. However, I will say that I the voice was bit soft, at times not easily audible clearly. That may have created lots of confusion.

Second, there is nothing in this monologue to suggest that Sameer and Naina are not married. Mt. Abu trip changed Naina's life because she realized the difference between movies and real life pyar but most importantly, a guy she loved whole heartedly broke her trust. Breaking of trust is a big issue and remains like a scar all through life. It is not some "instant" coffee or instant microwave thing that you say "sorry" and trust comes back.

For Sameer it was important because for the first time in his life he had actually fallen in love with someone. He had always been deprived of love and never thought he was good enough to be loved. But it happened and he messed up. Sameer is right in saying what happened was not a mistake. It was a crime. Most often , we forget our mistakes. But try forgetting a crime if you have ever committed one, no matter how trivial it may sound...it's not easy.

And neither Sameer nor Naina suggested even for once, that they got to Mt. Abu separate. His words were "I still come here every year"...did he mention I come here alone? No. Did Naina VO say "I never go to Mt. Abu"? No. Then why are people assuming ?

The fact that male VO has come means they are happily married. Period.

Now about Sumeet Mittal. It is his story. Now tell me, how many of you think Randeep should play 40 plus guy? Sure Sumeet and Shashi Mittal are in their 40s now. But this show is set in 90s... so let's say in 1999, they were both in late 20s...so Randeep and Ashi both can play that part since both are in their 20s.

But is it not possible that Shashi and Sumeet Mittal appear in the last episode of the show? It is. Hence Sumeet Mittal's appearance...

As for showing Ashi in first episode as older Naina...please read the article about Sumeet Mittal . It is a recent decision. If they had taken the decision at the beginning of the show, Shashi Mittal probably would have been there as older Naina.

This is all I understood from today's episode...😊

I agree there was nothing that suggested that they are not together. Sameer is extremely sad because he hurt Naina. He can never forget what he did to the girl who was doing everything possible for him to keep him happy, the way he said woh ladki jo pal pal badal thi hai mujhe kush rakhne ke liye.

It just seems to be a ploy to add some suspense into the emotional mess that Sameer is in. Since they introduced the male VO, they thought why not include some suspense element and make it more interesting probably. I think this tactic has failed miserably amongst the fandom. The fans always need reassurance that their lead pair will end up together not this kind of uncertainty and doubt.

Nevertheless, I believe they are together 😃

Nicely written post, Rose!

I agree with all your points. I don't understand why many in the fandom are jumping to conclusions. I guess like Dixie said, most people do need reassurance that the lead pair is together, but I guess I see it differently. Why would they tell us right off the bat that they are together and that everything is ok between them? What's the point of the story if you already know everything in advance? A little bit of a suspense angle is ok for me, and anyhow there have been more than enough clues to suggest they are together, so why all the worry?

I haven't gotten used to the male voice yet either, but I feel the lines were written beautifully. I am excited to hear Sameer's side of the story.

As far as the older Sameer and Naina are concerned, I think by seeing that glimpse of Ashi in the first episode, everyone is assuming that they will be shown as an older couple eventually. But maybe they aren't planning on that at all. In that case, it wouldn't matter to me if the characters are played by someone else, if it's just a guest appearance anyway. Let's just enjoy the present and not worry about the future!
